Combined soft/abrasive cleaning sponge width projecting peaks with rounded tips

Abstract

This invention relates to a soft/abrasive sponge, and more specifically to a sponge of the type that is used for cleaning any class of articles such as dishes, bathrooms, tiles etc., which combines in one body of any geometric shape one section of a soft surface, on the opposite section an extremely abrasive surface and on its peripheral sides a plurality of projecting salients which make up the rounded tips which provide the possibility to scrub places which only are penetrated with great difficulty by any other type of sponge when cleaning those areas.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim is: 
     
       1. A cleaning sponge for cleaning the surfaces of dishes, bathrooms and tile, comprising in combination: a single integral flexible and spongy body formed as a flexible planar sheet material of predetermined geometrical shape presenting opposed planar cleaning surfaces for wiping surfaces of the dishes, bathrooms and tile, said opposed cleaning surfaces having two diverse cleaning characteristics, namely: (a) an abrasive surface structure with sufficient roughness to dislodge dirt and grime encrusted upon said surfaces of the dishes, bathrooms and tile, and (b) a soft surface structure able to softly clean delicate surfaces, wherein said body further comprises a plurality of side-by-side salients extending about peripheral edges of said body bearing said opposed cleaning surfaces in a pattern retaining the opposed cleaning surfaces thereupon and exposing the salients to penetrate and scrub corners and irregularly shaped surfaces of said dishes, bathroom and tile with said abrasive surface structure to dislodge said dirt and grime therefrom.   
     
     
       2. The cleaning sponge of claim 1 wherein said salients further comprise a zig-zag pattern of regularly spaced salients extending about peripheral edges of said predetermined geometric shape. 
     
     
       3. The cleaning sponge of claim 2 wherein the salients extend about three lateral sides of the sponge. 
     
     
       4. The cleaning sponge of claim 2 wherein the predetermined shape is circular. 
     
     
       5. The cleaning sponge of claim 2 wherein said salients extend completely around peripheral edges of said predetermined geometric shape. 
     
     
       6. The cleaning sponge of claim 1 wherein said predetermined geometric shape is quadrilateral.
